SWINGING by ANONYMOUS

First Line: I WENT INTO MY GRANDMOTHER'S GARDEN
Last Line: OVER THE BOWLING GREEN

I WENT into my grandmother's garden
And there I found a farden;
I gave it to my mother
To buy a baby brother;
The baby was so bandy,
I gave it a drop of brandy;
The brandy was so hot,
I put it in the pot;
The pot was so little,
I put it in the kettle;
The kettle had a spout
And it all ran out.
With a good push--
Over the bowling green.
